There is a family in Wangjiazhuang, surnamed Xue, with six brothers. The story I want to tell today is about Xue Laosan.

Xue Laosan was a handsome young man when he was young, but it was a pity that he couldn't do anything. A sick pig came to the pig seller and learned to be a carpenter.

As soon as the villagers saw Xue Laosan frowning, they all shook their heads and said, "It's a pity that such a naked young man is an embroidered pillow that doesn't do anything."

As the saying goes, good things don't go out and bad things travel thousands of miles. The four miles and eight villages all know that Xue Laosan of Wangjiazhuang is a child, and matchmakers walk around him when they see him. Seeing that Xue Laosan and Xue Laosan have become fathers, Xue Laosan is still alone, making his mother anxious to draw him a daughter-in-law.

It was not until the age of thirty-two that Xue Laosan moved to marriage, and it was actually the woman who took the initiative to talk about this marriage.

The woman was the daughter of the Xu family in Niu Jiawa next door. A few years ago, she made an appointment with a young man in the village. The young man worked in the city and went back and forth to catch up with daughter of the owner, so she gave Xu Xiuying a break.

Xu Xiuying was originally a girl with a high heart. After such a commotion, she was cold-hearted about marriage. No one should say that the matchmaker should not accept it. She had to keep her parents for the rest of her life.

Unfortunately, the sky did not meet people's wishes. In the past year, the two elders of the Xu family passed away one after another. Xu Xiuying's sisters-in-law said a lot of incorrect words about cucumbers, which made it clear that this aunt could not be tolerated, but Xu Xiuying and her brother were also a wimp.

Xu Xiuying sighed for half a month, and she found a matchmaker at the matchmaker's house to make a matchmaker for her.

The matchmaker looked at the thirty-something-year-old girl in front of her and felt worried. Where could she find such an old man?

Xu Xiuying looked at the matchmaker and felt worried. She gritted her teeth and said, "Auntie, if no one wants to marry, I am also willing to marry!" Hearing this, the matchmaker slapped her thigh and thought of Xue Laosan.

When Old Madam Xue heard that there was such a good thing, her mouth broke into a crooked smile, and she hurriedly asked the matchmaker to arrange for the two children to meet. It was also due to the fact that the two were married, and they were actually quite satisfied with each other when they met, so the matchmaker made this favor.

The good day was set for the second day of July, and the old lady of the Xue family made preparations without touching her feet, for fear that Xu Xiuying would regret it.

One day in June, it had just rained, and the eldest girls and daughters-in-law all came out to see the rainbow. Xue Laosan also walked out of the house leisurely.

A southerner from the south came to see him on the road, but coincidentally, he had a face-to-face with Xue Laosan. He insisted on showing Xue San a picture, and Xue San refused several times, but this man was determined to show him. The farmers were all happy to join in the fun, and everyone gathered around with the sound of wula, waiting to hear what the doctor had to say.

This Nan Manzi looked unceremoniously at Xue San from head to toe, smiled slightly, and said all kinds of things before Xue Lao was thirty years old, and it was as if he had seen it with his own eyes. Everyone was more excited, and quickly let him see after thirty years old.

The man smiled and said, "Brother, don't blame me for being cold." You really have nothing to say after you are thirty years old. You will be thirty-three next year.

Everyone chattered, some said he was lying, and some believed it. The elderly shook their heads and sighed that Xue Laosan's life was thin.

Xue Laosan heard the blue veins burst, but still took out 10 yuan to give to Nan Manzi, but the man stuffed the money back to Xue San and said, "Brother, we have rules, your life is not worth a fortune, we don't accept it, we show it to you for nothing."

Xue Laosan stumbled when he heard that, turned around and left, but went in the direction of Niu Jiawa.

Seeing Xu Xiuying, Xue Laosan wanted to break off the marriage with one sentence. Of course Xu Xiuying didn't do it, twisting him and insisting that he make it clear.

At first Xue Laosan didn't say anything, and when he was in a hurry, he said with a red face, "Anyway, I'm going to die, and I want to break up the marriage for your own good!" As he spoke, he told Xu Xiuying word by word.

After hearing this, Xu Xiuying burst out laughing: "What a big deal am I? You also believe the words made up by the people who run the rivers and lakes, but you are still a big man? Don't say what he said is not true, even if what he said is true, with your sincerity, I will get married."

After Xu Xiuying passed through the door, he did not urge Xue Laosan to go out to make money, and he did not rush to have children. Instead, he and Xue Laosan pulled stones in a carriage and repaired the small bridge on the west side of the village.

Before, Xue Laosan didn't come forward to anyone in the village who needed help. Since Xu Xiuying passed through the door, who had a big or small affair, Xu Xiuying sent Xue Laosan to that house early to help. There was a beggar, a craftsman, a blacksmith in the village... When it was time for dinner, Xu Xiuying would bring food out for others to eat.

Seeing that it is the root of the year, after the New Year, Xue Laosan will be thirty-three. This year has been really mixed.

Xu Xiuying looked at Xue Laosan and said, "Look at you like a bear, you can't die, Lord Yama's ledger remembers it clearly, you just continue to do good things, I don't believe that black and white impermanence dares to hook your soul."

Xue Laosan didn't believe this, but when he thought that his daughter-in-law knew that he would not live to be thirty-three and still married without hesitation, he immediately obeyed his daughter-in-law and did as she said.

In the spring, there were many people building houses in the village. Xue Laosan went to help without saying a word, and did not want wages.

On this day, Xue Laosan was helping Liu Si's house to soften the wall. Xu Xiuying ran over to call him, saying that the pigsty at home had collapsed and killed the big white pig at home.

Xue Laosan wiped his white sweat when he heard that. After everyone asked carefully, they found out that Xue Laosan was going to raise pig manure in the pigsty at home today, but in the end, Liu Si's family built walls, and he didn't do the work at home.

Everyone praised him for his life, and Xu Xiuying said happily: "Third, what I said, doing good deeds can change your life, hurry up and bury the big white pig well, your life must be over, go!"

The next year, Xu Xiuying gave birth to a big fat boy, and Xue Laosan worked more vigorously. He opened a tofu workshop with Xu Xiuying, and the couple was kind-hearted and gave enough. Everyone was willing to go to his house to buy tofu. Gradually, the business grew bigger and bigger, and they started to give it to restaurants in the town, and later to restaurants in the city.

Xue Laosan was finally able to do something. Everyone said that it was thanks to Xiuying. Xue Laosan was very busy, but he never forgot to do good deeds everywhere.

Ten years later, a temple was built on the back mountain of the village, and Xue Laosan donated 10,000 yuan and became the master of great merits. Was the mountain very lively on the day of the temple fair, Xue Laosan unexpectedly met the face-to-face person, and when the face-to-face recognized Xue Laosan, he was shocked and couldn't believe it.

Xue Laosan dragged him home for dinner, and those who looked at him also developed a strong interest in him. He was full of wine and food, and this person gave Xue Laosan another side, saying that he had a happy face and could live to eighty-eight, which was a full-house old life.

Xue Laosan laughed heartily and became even more diligent in doing good deeds.

Who says fate can't be changed? In ancient times, there was Fan, and later there was Xue Laosan. Whether it was good or evil, whether it was good or evil, was in your own hands. If you want to change it, who can stop you?
